After looking it over for a while, she lightly parted her rosy lips and said, "Judging from the fluctuations coming from these wings, their speed should already surpass most movement-type Dou Techniques. For my current self, they're more than enough."
Ever since the incident with the Dou Zun ambush, she had realized the importance of speed.
Back then, if they had been even a little slower while escaping, they might already have become a pair of doomed lovers.
So, she had no choice but to take it seriously.
"That's right, these wings were found inside the storage ring of that old man surnamed Qin."
Lin Feng nodded and replied.
However, when Xiao Yixian mentioned movement-type Dou Techniques, he couldn't help but recall the terrifying speed of Lue Feng Zun Zhe during their battle.
"After this gathering is over, I need to find a safe place and sort through Lue Feng Zun Zhe's storage ring."
Touching the light-blue storage ring in his chest pocket, Lin Feng thought to himself.
Next, he took out the fiery-red storage ring from his robes.
While tossing it to Xiao Yixian, he said, "I've already taken out the other items from this ring, but the poisonous pills and medicinal ingredients inside should be of great help to you."
Inside were no less than four peak seventh-tier pills, six high-grade seventh-tier pills, and a large amount of other poisonous pills.
Although they couldn't push the Eight-Star Dou Zong Xiao Yixian directly to Dou Zun, they could definitely help her reach the peak of Dou Zong without much problem.
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian quickly took the storage ring and sent her soul perception inside to search through it.
"With these, my strength will definitely see a major improvement."
After exploring the space within the fiery-red ring, her rosy lips curved upward in delight as she spoke.
"Hehe, there's still some time before the gathering starts. Go ahead and raise your strength first. In a few days, when I devour the Heavenly Flame, I'll need you to protect me."
Seeing her so happy, Lin Feng stroked her snow-white hair and spoke gently.
"Mm."
Xiao Yixian gave a small nod, then stood up and walked into the training room.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Before long, the day of the trading market gathering arrived.
"Boom—"
Inside Lin Feng's room, a grinding sound of stone bricks echoed as one side of the wall slowly slid open.
A dense, pitch-black mist laced with lethal poison drifted out from the opening. Anything in the room that came into contact with the poisonous mist instantly corroded away.
Then, a graceful figure with long snow-white hair stepped out, her jade-like legs moving with poise. Immediately, the mist seemed to be drawn by some force and retreated back into her body.
"A few days just wasn't enough… I still couldn't reach the peak of Dou Zong."
Sensing the aura around Xiao Yixian's slender figure — about the same as Old Toad's from before — Lin Feng felt a slight twinge of regret.
But he quickly pushed such thoughts aside and said, "Let's go, the gathering should be starting soon."
"Mm."
She nodded, then took Lin Feng's hand and headed for the door.
After that, they called for Tian Huo Zun Zhe from the next room.
Together, the three followed the flow of people toward the western part of the city.
"Rank 5 magic cores and blood essence, clearance sale! Only one high-grade fourth-tier pill for either!"
"Earth, Fire, and Wood attribute Xuan Class cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques at bargain prices! Help you become strong faster, don't miss it!"
"Everyone, eyes over here! Urgent matters at home, selling a fifth-tier pill meant for personal use at a painful discount! You won't regret buying, and you won't be cheated either! Come have a look!"
"…Female slaves in bulk! Ages from eight to fifty, all kinds of looks and charms to meet your needs! Buy twenty at once and get a five percent discount! If you want high-end goods, I also have half-beasts who have taken Body Transformation Pills — satisfaction guaranteed!"
"."
When Lin Feng followed the flow of people to the so-called market in the west of the city, he was momentarily stunned.
Not far ahead was a spacious marketplace built with cyan stone pillars and topped with a transparent glass-like roof.
The vendors inside were nothing like those in other places who quietly set up stalls.
Instead, each one was fired up, shouting their pitches with great energy.
"This… this really is a market…"
Looking at the bustling scene before him, the corner of Lin Feng's eye twitched slightly as he spoke in a daze.
Xiao Yixian's expression at this scene was much the same as his.
"Let's go take a look inside."
After a while, Lin Feng turned to glance at the disguised Xiao Yixian beside him — now appearing in her forties — and said.
"Alright."
Looking at the vendors shouting at the top of their lungs, Xiao Yixian blinked in mild astonishment and nodded almost subconsciously.
The two then stepped inside.
The guards at the entrance, sensing the oppressive aura coming from Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian, let them pass without obstruction.
After wandering the market for a short while, Lin Feng noticed something unusual.
Outside the market, in the surrounding streets, people would occasionally attempt to rob the roadside vendors.
But inside this market, though it was noisy and crowded, even if a conflict broke out, no one dared to actually make a move on others.
At most, they would just glare fiercely at each other — let alone try to rob the stalls here.
To Lin Feng, this was rather amusing.
"Looks like fighting is prohibited inside this market. Otherwise, these lawless types wouldn't be acting so 'civilized'."
He swept his gaze over the crowd, thinking silently.
Suddenly, beside a stall selling pills, his eyes caught a somewhat familiar figure. That person's eyes were locked firmly onto a jade bottle in the pill vendor's hand, as if yearning for it.
Looking more closely, Lin Feng recognized him.
It was the same middle-aged man he had caught ten days ago, the one he'd questioned about this market and the Xuandu Chamber of Commerce.
Now, since Lin Feng just happened to be lacking a guide, he immediately changed direction, taking Xiao Yixian's jade-like hand and walking toward that spot.
"Little brother, we meet again."
As he approached, Lin Feng reached out and patted the man on the shoulder.
The man, so fixated on the pill bottle, was startled nearly out of his soul by the sudden pat.
"Which blind fool—"
He turned angrily — only to see Lin Feng's familiar face.
In that instant, the man almost jumped out of his skin, quickly bending over and rubbing his hands obsequiously.
"Se-senior, what instructions do you have?"
"This is my first time attending this gathering today. You're going to show me around."
Lin Feng cast a casual glance at the fifth-tier pill in the vendor's hand and spoke lightly.
